A great portion of my life is spent baking with bananas, especially when they go ripe, as I hate to throw away food and my boys would much rather me make up some home-baked goodness that they will no doubt enjoy than to see good ripe bananas go to waste. This recipe is excellent when time isn’t on your side, you won’t believe how quick they are to mix up and bake! In no time you have delicious yummy muffins to enjoy at breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Banana White Chocolate Muffins

Ingredients

3 very ripe bananas

125ml vegetable oil

2 eggs

250g plain flour

100g caster sugar

½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

150g white chocolate (or butterscotch or dark chocolate morsels)

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/gas mark 6 and line a 12-bun muffin tin with muffin papers.

Mash the bananas and set aside for a moment.Pour the oil into a jug and beat in the eggs.

Put the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder into a large bowl and mix in the beaten-egg-and-oil mixture, followed by the mashed bananas.

Fold in the white chocolate morsels, then place equal quantities in the prepared muffin tin and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

I have not read your recipe as it is past midnight, but as the Chinese say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I can see how yummy your muffins are. I promise to read it tomorrow as it is very late and I came to Award you the Yummy Award.

In my house bananas never go wasted but I agree with you, with petrol prices going up and everything becoming so expensive it's not a good period to waste things. I try and make good use of our leftovers. Your muffins look delicious.
